    And he doesn't even realize it.

    Sports director of Baton Rouge television station gets his hair cut with LSU's logo part of the design.

    Shows it off at the end of the sports segment tonight (last 25 seconds or so):

    "Ahh, the boys over at Famous Fades, hookin' a brother up!"

    That's as bush league as it gets - bet his news director thought it was great, though. I can hear the consultants now - "Active standups!"

    I shudder to think that's what some people think of when they think of what a journalist is.

    holy shit, I initially thought this guy was the SID. For the sports director of a tv station to do this is unacceptable.

    It's par for the course for the S-fucking-E-C.

    If you're on-air and not wearing a polo shirt with "your" team's logo on it, the viewers get upset. After all, when your anchor is doing VolsNation or GatorNation or whatever after the Sunday late newscast, they have to dress the part.
